My Life is Now Complete or Hossanas to OS Max!

Recently I purchased an OS 40 FX to replace the OS 40 LA on my
Duraplane T-40. The 40 LA did a fine job getting the T-40 off the
ground, but I was curious about how the 40 FX would perform. Well it
runs like a rocket, and the T-40 now rotates in a few feet rather than
taking half the field!

I sold the 40 LA to a friend leaving me with just one additional
engine: a 46 AX on my Ultra Stick 40. The 46 is probably one of the
finest engines that Max ever made, and each time I fly the US, I am
utterly amazed at its performance. Unfortunately its airframe is
quickly wearing out from all the high G manuevers. I had better get
another plane before it disintegrates in the air into a fine spray of
balsa pieces!

Anyway I purchased another OS engine that I have been coveting for a
long time - an OS FS-52 S. What a beautiful lovely machine. If it were
a woman, it'd be Terri Hatcher! My life is complete engine wise. Now if
I could just find some worthy airplane to put it on. I have an OS
aluminum mount for it, so I might test fly it on the US.

Ciao,

The Twist is going for about $100. You can see this plane at

 You might like it.  I know of a fellow who wants to get rid of one.

Is that the best you can come up with?  Probably.

His best!  Your best!  Hell Paul, I fail to see where either of you is
preferable over the other!
